Surnames: Creech Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3AB.2ACI/6917 Message Board Post: I am seeking information on the 1st wife of Rev. John Creech, son of Elijah Creech and Sally Day. He was born in 1833 and married in the 1850s. The 1860 Census indicates his wife's name as Mary and that 2 of his 3 children then had been born in Arkansas before the family returned to Kentucky. Some family trees indicate his wife as Mary Ann Smith. However about 20 years ago when I started my family tree research, my grandfather's cousin said that she was a Kilburn. I have been unable to find a suitable Kilburn/Kilbourne girl of the appropriate age in the 1850 census for Kentucky or Virginia, including the most likely family of Martin Kilbourne. Any information on this would be appreciated.
